The Macallan takes your palate on a transatlantic voyage with its new Carta Nautica collection

The Macallan's Carta Nautica collection offers a transatlantic whisky journey, capturing the essence of exploration and heritage. Each expression in this four-part series undergoes an unconventional maturation process, beginning in sherry-seasoned oak casks from Jerez de la Frontera before transferring to those that previously held North American bourbon. This fusion of Spanish and American influences creates a unique depth, richness, and complexity in each bottle.

The flagship release, The Macallan Carta Nautica Distilled in 1987, is a rare single malt aged for 38 years. Upon tasting, it unveils a harmonious blend of creamy vanilla, caramelized peaches, and hints of rich oak, tropical pineapple, rose, and pink grapefruit. On the palate, one can detect antique oak, orange oil, berry compote, and nectarines, accompanied by the soft warmth of leather. The finish is long and refined, with lingering notes of wood spice and sultanas.

Artistically presented, the whisky comes in packaging designed by American artist Amy Genser, inspired by the natural forms and rhythms of the ocean to symbolize the casks' physical voyage. This rare vintage is available at The Macallan Boutique Singapore, highlighting The Macallan's commitment to creating an exceptional experience for whisky enthusiasts.
